Tips and tricks
- Substitute leftover roast meat in recipes that call for ground beef. Try it in shepherd’s pie, sloppy joes, beef enchiladas, leftover roast beef chili, roast beef pot pie, or an easy beef stroganoff.
- I love to make my own beef stock at home. If I happen to be making a bone-in roast, I use that. Sometimes you can find beef bones at the grocery store too.
- Unsure what size of roast to buy? This can be tricky, especially when you will be feeding a large group. A good rule of thumb is to allow a half-pound per person.
- Any time you are cooking meat, it is important to be sure it is cooked thoroughly. The best way to do that is with an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
